Derrick:There is an idea. Then there are people.Communication is the bridge that links the idea and the people.It provides the medium through which the idea is conveyed to the people.The bridge itself is a medium to carry that idea.Thus,like the bridge,the medium of communication can take on various formats, such as,television,internet,print and radio. These various formats are known collectively as media.Media has 3 functions: to inform, to entertain, to influence.
Johal:I just asked you if you want to share pack.
Derrick: And that is my answer.

Johal: Dei!Later you OE what time.
Derrick:Time is an abstract idea.Or is it.If humans did not quntify time into feasible units such as days,years,millenia etc,would time still exist?Is this like the age old adage,"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it,does it make a noise?"Then again, time is considered by many to be the 4th dimension. After all, our universe is contained in a space-time continuum.Space and time and inextricably linked. Einstein claimed that space time is curve.Indeed,he further postulated that time is determined by the speed of light. That, in a nutshell, is why, if humans were to travel to a far away universe, to the travellers it will seem like a few years back, but when they come back, time on earth would have it to be several hundred or even million years.Thus more research needs to be done in the field of quantum physics before any one theory can be concretised.
Johal: so 3rd la?
Derrick:(pause). Yes.

Derrick: Do you know that in many countries,newspaper is sold in little boxes whereby one puts in a coin which then allows one to open a lid to retreive the paper in question.It was tried in Singapore,however,certain people of ill conscience took all the newspaper after inserting one coin.Thus , it is painfully obvious that the honour system does not work here and given the chance,the "kiasu" ugly Singaporean would sooner take advantage of a system that relies on basic morals to steal a few paltry newspapers than to maintain good ethics and social conduct.This matter of contention is evident that we as a culture are still mired in our infancy.
Johal:I just asked you why here got no vending machine what.
